This is a lazy heuristic. It abdicates actually engaging with the substance of what someone is saying and weighing it against your own judgement in favor of seeing how much of a spectacle they've managed to create. No, creating more of a spectacle does not indicate that someone is closer to the truth.

Good. Finally they’ll realize the meaninglessness of their work and how they’ve been exploited in the most insidious way. To the point of forgetting to answer the question of what it is they most want to do in life.

I switched to the classic photo viewer because I am not a fan of the new one. You can switch with a bit of registry "hacking":

reg add "HKCR\Applications\photoviewer.dll" /f

reg add "HKCR\Applications\photoviewer.dll\shell" /f

reg add "HKCR\Applications\photoviewer.dll\shell\open" /f /v MuiVerb /t REG_SZ /d "@photoviewer.dll,-3043"

reg add "HKCR\Applications\photoviewer.dll\shell\open\DropTarget" /f /v Clsid /t REG_SZ /d "{FFE2A43C-56B9-4bf5-9A79-CC6D4285608A}"

Yeah for high-end phones with lots of storage, fully offline full text search would be really nice.
Often I know that some email with a substring exists and I search for it in Mail app, and it goes off to do a server search… And when you need it most, you probably have 1 bar of range, or have no cell service and no available WiFi. Example: pulling up reservation details while traveling in a foreign country.

Or even worse, sometimes I look at some email in Mail and it’s there, and then hours later, while on bad network conditions, I look at it again and see “This email has not been fetched from the server. Download?”, which then just hangs.

I have a 1TB iPhone and a 2TB iPad. My main Gmail account is not large by any means - ~50k emails and 5GB space. Even though I have all this space on my iPhone/ipad available and willing to commit a bunch of it to email with all attachments and full text index, there seems to be no way to do it.

The Gmail app has a slider for “days of mail to sync”, but the max is 90 days, and not “All time” like one would expect. Anyways, good luck with Mailtemi!

Creating a Framework for Living Well
I always looked for something like this. Generating a bookmarklet from js is pain in the ass
Honestly, finding something that Claude confidently gives me the wrong answer to is harder than getting it to clearly explain its reasoning:

Me: Suzzie has three brothers. Each brother has two sisters. How many sisters does Suzzie have?

Claude: Let me solve this step by step:

Let's first establish what we know:
Suzzie has 3 brothers
Each brother has 2 sisters
Suzzie is one of these sisters (since she's a sister to all 3 brothers)

Here's the key insight:
If each brother has 2 sisters total
And we know Suzzie is one of those sisters
Then there must be one other sister (to make 2 sisters total for each brother)

Therefore:
Suzzie has 1 sister
The answer is 1 sister.

To verify:
This makes sense because with Suzzie and 1 other sister, each of the 3 brothers would indeed have 2 sisters, satisfying all the conditions in the problem.*
"Such slipshod filmmaking works for the streaming model, since audiences at home are often barely paying attention. Several screenwriters who’ve worked for the streamer told me a common note from company executives is “have this character announce what they’re doing so that viewers who have this program on in the background can follow along.” (“We spent a day together,” Lohan tells her lover, James, in Irish Wish. “I admit it was a beautiful day filled with dramatic vistas and romantic rain, but that doesn’t give you the right to question my life choices. Tomorrow I’m marrying Paul Kennedy.” “Fine,” he responds. “That will be the last you see of me because after this job is over I’m off to Bolivia to photograph an endangered tree lizard.”)

One tag among Netflix’s thirty-six thousand microgenres offers a suitable name for this kind of dreck: “casual viewing.” Usually reserved for breezy network sitcoms, reality television, and nature documentaries, the category describes much of Netflix’s film catalog — movies that go down best when you’re not paying attention, or as the Hollywood Reporter recently described Atlas, a 2024 sci-fi film starring Jennifer Lopez, “another Netflix movie made to half-watch while doing laundry.” A high-gloss product that dissolves into air. Tide Pod cinema."

I think you are correct, but also I think that even if that were not the case, the Thai Library Problem[1] strongly suggests that AGI will have to be built on something other than LLMs (even if LLM-derived systems were to serve as an interface to such systems).

I just bought a used 2023 Nissan Leaf.

Fully EV, real buttons and knobs, and of course the model is cancelled.

The original tracking was 2G cellular, later updated to 3G cellular. 2G is long depricated, and 3G is already shutdown in many places.

This is a great car! Which explains why it's no longer available. It doesn't meet modern american needs, like being at least as large as a small building, or having 0 visibility over the hood, or costing at least $75K. (p.s. I paid $15K for mine, with 18K miles on the odometer and 150 miles of battery range)

But if you're into retro, like buttons and knobs, I highly recommend it...

p.s. I have to wonder if the data breach doesn't affect ICE cars as well? Would they use a separate surveilance system?

> I don't foresee any sane explanation for this kind of order.

The "malice/incompetence" heuristic is really a statement about prior probability more than anything. Even though it may seem as "cautious," or avoiding uncertainty, not updating your priors is doing exactly the opposite! You _should_ assume malice as long as russia is concerned, and it's otherwise up to them to prove incompetence. However, like you would probably guess, it's in their best interest to introduce as much uncertainty as possible. On a different note, there's interesting discourse in iterated prisoner's dilemma regarding _noise_, or communication error. It recognises that any "real" systems is imperfect, and therefore will introduce error. I wonder if they ever recognised that there's advantage to deliberately introducing noise, and falsely attributing it to the system itself!

I mean if the alternative is quitting entirely because they can't see that they've mixed tabs with spaces, then yes, it's very very helpful to their development.
Amazon was successful because for the first 10+ years they paid no sales tax (edit: they exploited interstate laws to enable buyers to circumvent paying sales tax. This was true for eBay as well). This is not competition, in fact it's the opposite. thats nothing revolutionary. In fact, 'exploitative' is the adjective that comes to my mind (which coincidentally, also applies to his laborers)

I’d estimate most Unix distributions are used in one 3 ways:

- a technical application maintained by a tech savvy admin or a team of them, this would primarily be server usage.
- desktop usage by a developer.
- a restricted installation on older hardware for a non-tech savvy person. Their user account probably shouldn’t be given permission to install new software so none of this has any relevance to them.

You average non-technical user certainly isn’t running Debian.

Identifying the problem is never useless. We need the right understanding if we're going to move forward. Believing we serve the economy and not the other way around hinders any progress on that front and so inverting it is a solid first step.
It's true that the quantum mechanical influence amounts to randomness, but you're missing that this (weak) randomness is constantly being injected into biological processes and amplified, it isn't a "one and done" random seed. So it isn't true that the consequences of living systems can be modeled and computed deterministically, even in principle. And this is even less true of intelligent systems like brains.

Whether that stochasticity amounts to free will is a separate discussion, but it is fairly clear to me that many of our decisions are consequential and AREN'T predetermined. Which at least sounds like free will, or close enough to warrant being treated as such, anyway.

No, to do this it would need to be able to independently reason, if it could do that, then the training data stops mattering. Training data is a crutch that makes these algos appear more intelligent than they are. If they were truly intelligent they would be able to learn independently and find information on their own.
Averaging the observations over several years was the insight I was missing. Was trying to understand how to use contemporary timekeeping devices to that kind of resolution in a single cycle.

> Amazon was successful because for the first 10+ years they paid no sales tax

Quite a history revision.

1. Businesses do not pay sales tax - customers do. No online webstore collected taxes until recently. That was not something special for Amazon...

2. The business employs hundreds of thousands of people. All of which pay taxes. Even if the business itself literally paid zero dollars in taxes (lol), it is responsible for millions of dollars of taxes every month via payroll and employees buying things.

3. More taxes is not inherently better. What is up with people demanding more taxes be paid to the black hole that is the government?

This idea that businesses don't pay taxes and therefore are bad is totally naïve.
Oh I totally agree, it bugs me to no end and that’s partially why I replied :)
Yeah just be careful with all this stuff. People end up doing these things and having experiences I barely understand like 'kundalini awakenings' which to all appearances to me just look like mania or light psychosis, these aren't particularly enjoyable experiences to go through and alot of the time I see people who seek that kind of thing out, they end up going through it for like a whole year or so before getting back on their feet. You can lose your job and all sorts of other life disrupting side effects which is why I'm pretty sure there's religious infrastructure to handle people who take this path in life in cultures where doing this kind of thing is normal. Maybe start with reading a book or some meditation classes or something before jumping into the advanced techniques right away I think is the wise way to go with anything that requires discipline

And you think these kinds of maxims formed out of vacuums? They are the kinds of sayings that are formed through experience re-enforced over generations. We can't just completely reject all historical knowledge encoded in our cultural maxims and expect everything to work out just fine. Yes, it is true that most people not having productive work will fill the time with frivolous or destructive ends. Modernity does not mean we've somehow transcended our historical past.

The mission was never to stay competitive. The mission was to develop AGI. They need to be competitive if they want to make billions of dollars for themselves and their shareholders; they don't need to be competitive to develop AGI.

> You literally can't reduce revenue on paper when your business revenue is credit card payments. The payments get reported directly to the IRS by the card processor.

The revenue isn't on the credit card.

Example: You go to the mechanic to have your brake master cylinder replaced. The part is $100 so they charge you $100 for the part and the credit card company says they have $100 in revenue, which gets deducted because they paid it to the parts company. But what you've actually given them is $100 and your old master cylinder, which can be rebuilt and put into another car and is worth $50. So they've reported $100 in revenue for the part, deducted the labor it took to rebuild the old part in addition to replacing yours (which also negates their profit on the labor), and now they have no profit on the books and a $50 profit off the books in the form of a serviceable part.

Example: Someone frequents a local restaurant, eats there every day, doesn't pay for it. The restaurant is making a tax loss on this, incurring deductible expenses with no reported revenue. But the person eating the food is the landlord for the restaurant owner's personal apartment and is giving a discount on the rent.

> If you take cash you can just lie and know that if you ever get audited there is no paper trail apart from the one you have created for yourself.

This is also a myth. When you take payment in cash, the buyer gets a receipt. All the IRS has to do is go to your establishment, make an anonymous cash purchase to get a receipt (or get one from any other buyer(s)) and then when they audit you the revenue from that transaction had better be in your records or you're caught.

> all the things I depend on like Medicare and Social Security get underfunded

Note that corporate income taxes don't actually fund Medicare and Social Security at all. Both programs are funded by separate taxes that apply only to wages -- and have an income cap. It's one of the dumbest things in the tax system, but as it stands there is no money going from ordinary net profit-based income taxes to either of those programs regardless of what kind of payment system is in use.

> As a W2 individual, I have no way to avoid taxes in a similar way.

It's not because you file a W2, it's because you're not committing tax fraud. W2 workers who commit tax fraud will e.g. have the company expense a personal laptop and then bring it home without reporting it as income. I would hazard a guess that the majority of W2 workers have at various points used company equipment for personal use without declaring the value as income, and in the more brazen instances of this it makes up the majority of their de facto compensation.

But some of those people also get caught, just like some of the people who don't report payments made in cash.
No it doesn’t. It can’t. It’s inherent to the design of the architecture. Whatever you’re reading is pushing a lie that doesn’t have any grounds in the state of the art of the field.

Russia legally declared itself a successor to USSR, took the UN seat, nuclear weapons, assumed debt and foreign assets, kept contacts with former communist allies like Cuba, so it’s not completely wrong. The topic of admission of Russia to NATO demonstrates this very well: Putin thought that Moscow is peer to Washington D.C. and needed special invitation (as if USSR resolved hostilities and wanted to partner with the Western bloc). NATO was treating him like any other country in Eastern Europe: apply and we will think about it — didn’t even bother to formally invite (IIRC Stoltenberg basically said in one of the interviews that even if the door was closed, the doorbell was working).
